Cross-Cutting Attributions

Cross-cutting attributions are areas of PEPFAR programming that contribute across several program areas. They contain limited indicative information related to aspects such as human resources, health infrastructure, or key populations programming. However, they represent only a small proportion of the total funds that PEPFAR allocates through the COP process. Additionally, they have changed significantly over the years. As such, analysis and interpretation of these data should be approached carefully. Learn more

Targets

PEPFAR sets targets using the Monitoring, Evaluation, and Reporting (MER) System - documentation for which can be found on PEPFAR's website at https://www.pepfar.gov/reports/guidance/. As with most data on this website, the targets here have been extracted from the COP documents. Targets are for the fiscal year following each COP year, such that selecting 2016 will access targets for FY2017. This feature is currently experimental and should be used for exploratory purposes only at present.

NOTE: The following is taken from summaries released by PEPFAR on the PEPFAR Data Dashboard. They are incomplete summary paragraphs only and do not contain the full mechanism details. When the full narratives are released, we will update the mechanism pages accordingly.

This IM will be used to fund several activities that relate to CDC Vietnam’s ongoing operations from headquarters in: 1) supporting technical assistance and management training to university and academic institutions; 2) development of training and guided field experience in surveillance and epidemiology; 3) collaboration and support for regional workshops with other GAP offices in the Asia region and stakeholders such as WHO on surveillance; 4) coordinating evaluation teams to assess the impact of programs and deliver the most effective interventions; 5) arranging for regional technical assistance laboratory bench training and hands-on learning at reduced costs.

OHSS funding will support CDC-SMDP technical assistance to Hanoi School of Public Health (HSPH) and Pasteur Institute (PI) to become in-country technical assistance (TA) providers on monitoring and evaluation (M&E) framework and tools, including pre- and post- training assessment, impact evaluation.

The goal of the Field Epidemiology Training Program (FETP) is to develop a self-sustaining institutionalized capacity to train preventive medicine staff in field epidemiology in Vietnam. The training will be integrated with Vietnam’s overall efforts to strengthen capacity for minimizing the risks and impacts of communicable diseases.

The PEPFAR Laboratory Program has identified ‘low cost’ technical assistance (TA) for Vietnam. CDC staff supporting the China program have extensive experience in PCR-based technologies and viral load testing.

Mechanism Target Information

Since COP2014, PEPFAR no longer produces narratives for every mechanism it funds. However, PEPFAR has now included performance targets or indicator information for each mechanism based on the Monitoring, Evaluation, and Reporting (MER) system. The MER guidance is available on PEPFAR's website https://www.pepfar.gov/reports/guidance/. Note that COP years 2014-2015 were under a previous version of the MER system and the indicators and definitions may have changed as of the new 2.0 guidance.
